This isn't what I signed up for!

Upon going unconscious, it would seem that he was left in a world of darkness? No dreams, no nightmares, just floating in darkness like a pig on a hook. He sighed softly to himself as he spoke aloud, "Welp, seems to me that things could have gone WAY better. Although, I got too big for my britches! I could have definitely helped out a bit better! I mean come on, who thinks they can go toe to toe with an Alicorn? Let alone Nightmare Moon alone when the mane 6 struggled with her?!" He would start to punch the air around him until he fell to the nonexistent ground beneath him.

This would cause him to wake up, in a prison cell? his vision still a bit hazy, he would see that he was patched up but why was he in prison? "Alright, so clearly something is going on here... I don't quite like these odds, problem is that I would need to get out whenever there was a point they had put me in here..." He would talk to himself, as he would then sigh aloud.

Raising his hand, he would then give a wave as all of time would freeze, upon doing so he would snap his fingers and start focusing on when he was brought into the dungeon to begin with. There he would find that of all people to put him in here, it was... Octavia?! Staring at the woman before him, she would be wearing skin tight latex black, that hugged her form and seemed to showcase a rather tight cameltoe. His shameless mind went to her breasts, which were rather large like every other pony he has seen so far and low and behold NIPPLES! He just chuckled to himself, getting lost in the moment. However, he regained his composure. Then started to move time backwards after he had left the cell, trying to listen in on what was being said but even conversations were in reverse of course! So he had to play back the moment before him, yet he didn't have that option! He can only rewind, fast forward or freeze time with certain restrictions! He was lucky enough to not have any cuffs on him, possibly because of his injuries which would make sense.

Continuing along as Octavia moved along with a few guards, he would move back bit by bit until he had found himself at the throne room of canterlot castle?! So he was in the canterlot dungeons meaning he was a high risk criminal?! What the hell? What did he do to warrant such treatment! He would growl to himself, clenching his fists as he would try to see who was on the throne. There, he saw Nightmare Moon... With what looked like Spike beside her, yet spike was changed? They looked like they were a woman here... How long were they a woman? What happened to the others? He would then fast forward time as Octavia was leaving so the door was closed and then snapped his fingers once more to play time.

"I can't believe that individual, the hairless beast! Was able to take me on! Such a shame that they decided to aid in those annoying 6 ponies! Luckily we won't have to see them again! Let them rot down there in those dungeons while I rule all!" She began to laugh as Spike gasped looking over towards Lix only for him to put his hands on his hips. Spike seemed to have taken on a rather voluptuous form, but Lix tried his best to avoid staring as he froze time with a wave. Catching Nightmare Moon in her laughing stance, he would rub his head lightly and growl. "Okay, so the other 6 are in the dungeon where I came from, Spike has been taken hostage and seems to be a woman? Maybe they were originally here, or they were changed by Nightmare Moon. None the less, I need to get the other 6 out of here! But that would mean that...." He frowned to himself, "I need to remove myself from the equation here, I need to rewind all the way back to the ruined castle."

Moving out of the throne room, he would begin his trek towards Ponyville. Of course over that time, he had to bring some pastries with him by stopping by Donut Joe's and "Borrowing." Some Boxes of Donuts for the road. While time was frozen, he couldn't really use trains or any other means of transport sooo he had to "Hoof it" He laughed to himself. Finally given an opportunity to use that pun, but he could hear those boo's like a crowd was watching. A shrug was all he gave with a smile as he began to eat and walk, the journey having taken about 2 weeks from his calculations? The reason he could know was, well he didn't have much to do so he counted the hours, turned to days and more. He had run out of food 3 days prior. So he rushed to Sugarcube corner to take his fill, once again "Borrowing." Some food items as he would pat his belly with a sigh of relief. "Okay, now I need to get to the castle. Jesus, this is taking a long ass time. Right now, most protagonists would have already had a mare after him, or at least a harem. Maybe having saved others from beasts, monsters, encounters and the sort! Why was I given such bad luck about all this!? Yes I can mess with time, but that is too much of a hardcore mo-" He would then blink a few times remembering the other deal he had made and slowly he began to open up a menu by sliding his finger upwards to see his stats as he walked to the castle.

Lix: Level 15

Str: 24

Dex: 15

Int: 16

Wis: 13

Cha: 19

Skill: Change: allows him to make things that he thinks of with his surroundings with less work.

He read the skill, and looked at his increase to strength which blew his mind away. Maybe that had to be because of his battle with the Alicorn princess of the night. The charisma, was perhaps his appearance to save Twilight, and Spike? The dexterity was perhaps the ability to dodge. However, he saw that he had 10 more points to put into stats. With that in mind, he got a skill from his stats so maybe more over time would unlock more!

Allocating his points into strength and Charisma, for conversations and perhaps more later down the road and the ability to be able to endure and fight for longer would help alot here!

Utilizing the skill now, he would arrive at the castle and move towards the now broken elements of harmony that lay there on the ground. A frown upon his face, as he began to recreate them and make them whole once more. Yet, he knew that things had to be played back separately this time.... He began to rewind time, as everything went on for at least 3 weeks, the 2 weeks travel and apparently he was out for a week. Since when did he have a clock in front of him when looking at these things?

Watching time rewind to when he was knocked out of the castle, there were 2 things he realized. One was that Twilight was killed, and 2 the other 5 were imprisoned after she let her guards have their way with them right there in the castle.... That in itself pissed him off, as he got back to the point when he was passing out and thought to himself. "Oh no... Your not getting away with that shit..." He would lay back into position where he was as time would begin once more. Yet now, he was stronger due to his little broken mechanic he had set up. He would slowly close his eyes, as he would then wave to start time back up again.

"No, No no! Whoever, or whatever you are! You can't just die here! We need you!" As if on cue, Nightmare Moon was beginning to choke her, as his eyes opened back up! He would run forward, as Nightmare Moon was smiling towards Twilight at the eagerness to end it all only for him to suddenly come into view! "Take this YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" As his fist would collide with her gut, causing her to let out a cough of pain. Skidding back from the impact, as Twilight fell to the ground. At this point all 6 elements were returned, but Lix was suddenly nowhere to be seen?

While they were distracted, he had moved outside of the castle back to where he had tried to watch before. Only for the events of the original timeline to come into motion! A stream of Rainbow would begin to erupt all over as the scream of Nightmare Moon echoed around the forest. "NOOOOOO!!!!!!"

All the while, Lix was just smirking to himself, "Good prevails, but lets be honest here... Some evil can go a long way." He laughed, as he began to slowly move off towards Ponyville.... But at the castle.

"Girls, we need to find that individual! He saved our lives, He made this possible! If it weren't for him and his strange magic and strength! We may not have realized the elements of harmony would be used like this and win! Look for a hairless pony, our goal right now is to find them and Spike!" He would then come out, clearly not a female this time around. "Take a letter, Dear Princess Celestia."

A sneeze echoed around the forest as he raised a brow, "Why do I feel that things are about to get even more haywire? Fucking Damn it..." He would place his arms behind his head as he walked off into the night.
